Elements to focus on during this drill (best to work on one at a time)

• Getting back to the T after each shot (no cheating!)
• Practicing split step or foot movement
• Get into proper position to play the shot
  • Getting low for the drop
  • Racquet preparation
• Accuracy – decrease target as skill increases
• Weight of shot and target length
  • For drives, practice getting the ball so that the second bounce bounces close to the wall
• For the drops, try putting different spins on the ball to affect where the ball ends up on the floor
• For the person who is driving, try volleying
• Perfecting or changing technique
